I'm living a childhood dream tomorrow and visiting the ITV Granada Studios in Manchester as part of my Research and Development unit where I have to create a company profile - and I was surprised that 3sixtymedia agreed to it!

I'm going to interview the Director of Northern Resources for ITV programming (basically he runs the studios), and will hopefully get a tour of the site (they stopped the public ones years ago), which has been home to Coronation Street, Question of Sport, Soapstar Superstar, University Challenge, The Royle Family and tons of other shows.

Yay! :D

Wow, thats awesome Dan! :) hope you have an awesome time. You get to tour the Corrie studio/set.

If you get onto the Corrie set...I want Jack and Vera pics :P

I did it! I made the bag for my first swap!

At first I was bummed out because I didn't have any fabric to make the bag, other than the oilcloth w/ coffee beans, but then I realized that I bought 3 lengths of curtain last Monday, on sale - purple, black and off-white/cream. The cream curtain proved to be a success and soon I was setting up the sewing machine.

Bag. Please excuse the horrible table cloth.

That bag seriously rocks!

I think you've managed to find yet another artistic talent (the other being photography) :D!

Well I did indeed walk down the famous cobbles! No Jack and Vera though - Eileen walked past with a Jacket Potato and said hello to us though! I was even allowed to take pics around the studios - which was surprising considering that there was evidence of a HUGE spoiler on the Street set....all I'll say is police tape and flowers.....

I also had a wander around the set of the Jeremy Kyle show, saw them constructing sets for Blue Murder, went on the set of ITV Play and saw various other edit suites, studio galleries etc.

The large photo placed directly opposite the fake viaduct on the Street set, so that you don't see a studio wall alongside Coronation Street

Very sexy gallery!

We were given a big Corrie cast poster by the receptionist, what I'll do with it I don't know as I don't watch Corrie! :P

1. I did another full days work at Connexions and managed to borrow the floppy disk drive, so I can work on the project tomorrow. Means I can leave early on Friday to see sister off before she goes off to the weekend.

2. My download is at 31.1% and going even faster!

3. I got my period again! Seven days early again! That is now the third period I have had in the last three months. Never happened before.

Plus I have realized, after spending more money on make-up and clothes in the last few months, that the meds I am on for PCOS are working. They are taking away the extra male hormones in my body and replacing them with female hormones. Woohoo!

I'm trying my hardest to save the cash, but failing miserably because of my new found need for make-up.

Although this morning was chaos. Botched my foundation so had to redo it, then the mascara smudged and then I just could not apply my lipstick with my lip piercings in. Nearly missed the bus because of this.
